38 Index Search
When you make a recording, the VCR places an index mark at the
beginning of the recording. Essentially, an index mark is a type of
"bookmark" for your tape. This feature is useful if you have sever-
al different programs recorded on a single tape.
You may skip over programs by following the steps below. Before
you begin, make sure:
The VCR is on and is in VCR position. (The VCR/TV light will
appear. If it does not, press the VCR/TV button once.)
There is a tape in the VCR.

Within 30 seconds, press the PLAY button or the STOP
button repeatedly until the number of programs that you
want to skip appears beneath INDEX SEARCH on the
screen.
This number should include the current program. For example, if
you are currently viewing program 2 and you want to skip to pro-
gram 5, select 03 to skip three programs (2, 3, and 4). Playback will
begin at program 5. If you want to skip to program 1, select 02 to
skip two programs (2 and 1). Playback will begin at program 1.
